a few pictures are always welcome 
I started my record collection in 2006 when a film director friend of mine gave me a copy of the Midnight Cowboy OST. I had no TT. Spin it on my finger was the best i could do. That record sat alone among my CDs till 2008. In 2008, a colleague told me that Atria Mall had a Pro FX showroom that sold TTs. So off i went, and came back with their most entry level TT, the Denon 29F. (That was all i could afford.) I already had a Marantz amp with a built in equaliser, the PM 500. And along with my CD player Philips S900, i had a pair of Bose 601 speakers. Over the next few years, slowly but surely, i started getting more records. In India as well as on international travel. Over a short period of time i realised that the TT i had was rubbish. Unfortunately for me the capacitors of the PM 500 started giving me trouble and even the cones and sponge linings of the Bose 601s started deteriorating. But i continued to use this system for almost the next 10 years.
In 2019, i got upgraded to a Rega P1, and the Marantz PM 6002 i have shown here and the Monitor Audio speakers. I used these for 3 years. But in 2022, my audio listening really took a turn when i got my hands on the Technics SL 1210 MK2. Along with the Schitt Mani sound stage. It's like my ears popped open. Funny thing, meanwhile, i kept buying records, mostly used from all over and my collection kept growing. I told myself: don't stop collecting, get good records when you find them and hopefully, eventually, the good system will follow some day. And it did in 2022. And i continue to enjoy it till today. More on some of my records later.
If you are on Discogs then you can check out my record collection. It's updated.

The Monitor Audio RX6 Silver is a standout model within the Silver Series. The Silver Series was instrumental in cementing Monitor Audio's global popularity. Nice system.

A nice system. I owned the 6002 and the 4002. Both very good amps capable of driving many different loudspeakers well, particularly the 6002. The Rega RP 1 with OM 10 also sounds very good. Owned it for a brief period. I have no experience of direct drives, however the SL series are iconic. BTW do trim the screws as it may impinge on the lid closing, essential to keep dust out. Happy listening and I do agree with DilipPune.
To? Any reccos?
Let me also mention that the PM 6002 has been very warm and steady in its performance. No real complaints.
